An entirely meaningless response. They key is not to point out similarities, but to talk about the differences. Democracy does have its unique weaknesses, which is the drift towards efficiency over all else through capitalism, which tends to favour very dangerous and powerful technologies over time. Such a drift is simply not the case with a dictatorship or group run by elders, for example.
I think you should look up what the history of jaywalking laws actually are. They were lobbied by the automobile industry in the early 20th century.
A long time ago, I decided a day was successful if I helped someone, learned something new, or made something.

It's a low bar to clear, so it isn't intimidating, but it drives me to make intentional connections, be curious, and contribute stuff to my household and the world.
In this vein I would also recommend: "Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization" (2014) by Vackav Smil. In this work, Smil explores how these materials have shaped industrial civilization and examines trends in material use, efficiency, and potential future challenges.

Vaclav Smil discusses the main materials used in building the modern world, such as oil, steel, cement, plastics, and ammonia

This is true if Grant is the only person doing the work, however having a well educated and scientifically engaged populace seems important enough that we (the human race) should devote a few more resources to creating high quality (and freely available) courseware for all curricula/year levels.

Ask HN: What are some indicators of being blocked but not distracted?
I've been mulling over the issue of being blocked when working on problems, and identifying the ways we become unblocked.

For me at least, I've found the biggest "unblocker" has been when I have someone to bounce ideas off of. The problem is it either takes me a long time to identify, "oh I'm actually blocked right now", or I know I'm blocked and there's no one available to talk to, OR people are available and I just don't know what words to put together yet, so I'm afraid of starting a conversation as to not waste everyone's time.

And finally, I've found that whomever I'm bouncing ideas off of generally doesn't provide a solution. I end up coming to the solution myself, but having the other person there to keep the gears turning was vital to helping me arrive to my solution.

Now for the actual question: What have you noticed are indicators of being blocked besides the basic things like being distracted or literally being away from your desk. For example, I think looping through the same three files without doing significant analysis on each file is an indicator of being blocked. I'm curious to know any other patterns you've noticed in your own work.

Creating a class around the too many arguments you want to pass to your function may be a good idea if the concept happens to be coherent and hopefully a bit more long-lived than just the function call.

Otherwise, your just hiding the fact that your function requires too many arguments by calling them properties.
There is a function. It takes in 4 parameters. One of them is called ID

Is ID a string, a number, a GUID? Better check the usage within the function.

Oh, the declaration is `id: number`

Mystery solved.

Even better if the language supports subtyping so it is something like id: userID and userID is a subtype of number.
Oh, I see. "Can't" means in the present tense in my previous sentence, it wasn't meant to be a definitive statement about the entire future.

Not that I know of! Its an interesting idea though, as you say it should remain auditable.

Along that line me wonder if it were possible to design an LLVM output (i.e. can work with existing code) that is extra well optimized for interop with a specialized LLM, e.g. encoding more information more compactly or something.
I think you have good points in your middle paragraph, but I disagree with your first sentence. I can see a growing trend of dismissive "this reads like it's AI-generated" when I frankly think it has been written like that. Author has a similar tone to me. That's my writing style.

> Not everyone can achieve this level of communication in a productive manner.

Correct, and it sucks. I feel like it's ableist at times too. 9-to-5 days of small-talk are so strangely exhausting t me. It's very frustrating I feel it's a mandatory part of my career if I don't want to be forgotten about.

But? I don't disagree with the author. In my interpretation, they aren't saying "I'm an extrovert and I'm great", they're saying "hey, this is a thing you can choose to do or be, and you may find it benefits you, and the introvert/extrovert thing is a stupid distinction, but being extrovert in the right way is a means of making yourself visible".

Because, let's face it, it is. There is some entrenched ableism, in a way. Last I checked like 10-20% of western population is some form of neurodiverse and a proportion of that just do not click with the predominant communication styles used by the majority population. It sucks and we are left feeling like we are not accommodated for and can easily fall into that exhausted feeling of resentment.

But? So what? You can help make things incrementally better for yourself in the system whilst still "playing the game", if you consider it as something you are choosing to expend your energy on.

Hmmm yes and no. If I set / to mount read-only in some embedded Linux system context, my intention is just that the contents of disk shouldn't change just because some program decided to write something somewhere; I would be quite surprised if some recoverable metadata bit flip or something caused the system to irrecoverably fail to boot just because the readonly flag also prevented fsck from fixing errors.

However if I have a faulty drive that I connect to my system to recover data from it and I don't want it to experience any more writes because I'm worried further writes may break it further, I would be quite surprised if 'mount -o ro' caused the driver to write to it.
I love talking to people. Unfortunately it's exhausting for me. I have no such attitude about it being a "waste [of] mental energy." I don't know any introverts that do.

I would recommend taking a deep breath and just consider for a second that some people are just different than you.
Yes.

Well my feeling is that we don't have the same understanding of what a "belief" is. To me a belief is unfounded. When it is founded, it becomes science.

If you believe that something can happen because someone else believes it means that you believe in that someone else (because that's the only reason for the existence of your belief).

Unless you just believe it can happen for some other reason (I don't know, you strongly wish it will happen), and you justify it by listing other people who also believe in it. But I insist: those are all beliefs.

Because Einstein believes in Santa Claus does not mean it is founded. Einstein has a right to believe stuff, too.

For my high school graduation project, I wrote a full COBOL system to automate soccer betting odds. Long past its prime, but my school hadn’t quite caught up with the times.

It was hilariously out of place, but I loved every line of it. There’s something oddly satisfying about a language that whispers, “Remember punched cards?” as you type.
In case you're wondering, the HTML WG charter hasn't been extended beyond December, 6th. There hadn't been any public activity for about two years anyway and W3C had undergone major changes meanwhile, such as a change in financing and legal entity type.

Worth noting is that privacy concerns related to the reporting and other APIs were what was preventing the last considered WHATWG HTML Review Draft (published January, 2022) to become a recommendation, and change in HTML's so-called outlining (a holdout of Ian Hickson's vision for HTML that was never implemented in browsers and accessibility tech). Even though Steve Faulkner took it upon himself to remove outlining in upstream WHATWG specs, now no W3C recommendation is representing a modern HTML language without outlining. [1] makes the point that, arguably, its removal would've warranted a major version bump ("HTML 6") anyway, considering outlining has been formally part of "HTML 5" for the longest time.

There are 7 years of a radio show with daily recordings of about 2-3 hours in length, including images. About 400GB in size.

It used to all be hosted on a heavily ad plastered Drupal site, but I took it down a few years ago, because reasons.

I would like to make the archive available to the public, it would be such a waste to delete it. When I write available, I mean via a website. This blackcandy seems to be private only, requiring auth.

I would also prefer if the shows were streamed not directly downloaded, to keep bandwidth down, if you know what I mean.

Does software for this use case exist?
Yeah corporate tools all sound alike

They interview a few of the guys working there and posted a few photos of the racks inside it. It looks like they have official authorization to publish this.

It looks like a PR from the facility to ensure nobody forget to send more fundings next year.

Perhaps the "security through obscurity" was only a tonge in cheek remark and the area is full of hidden bear traps or something.
There's a lot of weird missing details.
After a couple years of running manjaro I ended up switching to bazzite, a fedora silverblue based distro. For the past years, I stopped being a tinkerer, and started turning on my personal laptop less and less. But when I did, I'd find that doing an update would break things, and lead to hours of figuring out what broke, or why an update wouldn't install. It was so incredibly frustrating. My personal circumstances just changed so that I don't have the time to spend on those shenanigans anymore. I looked at Nixos for a long time, but the steep learning curve always held me back. And a fedora atomic desktop started to look pretty good, but it took me to get so fed up with the not being able to do an update after a couple months without things breaking again that I got over the fact that I would probably need to switch to GNOME or KDE to run a well supported atomic desktop. I got over that and settled on bazzite with gnome, because it's promise of setting up my hardware for casual gaming without effort. I've changed a couple months ago and honestly, it's made Linux fun for me again. The things I don't want to have to tinker with, the ui, desktop, software, it all just works and seems very stable. Software is installed with flatpaks, appimages, or in distrobox. If I want to tinker, I do what I always used to do; use docker (podman and distrobox on fedora). Its been an absolute pleasure so far, with hardly a learning curve for me (based on previous experience and practices I suppose). Highly recommend.
Funnily enough this sounds like a 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' plot.

That depends on who thinks it's going to be a significant benefit - far far too many times I've had non-technical product managers yelling about some patch or feature or whatever with a "just get it done" attitude. Couple that with some junior engineering manager unwilling to push back, with an equally junior dev team and you'll end up with the nasty spaghetti code that only grows.
I very much want to live in an arcology
Yeah I know this is a fairly well-trodden model recommended by FSF (okay, maybe I shouldn’t have called it kinda strange). I’m not confident it works out in most cases, though. So I’m wondering if it’s intentional in this case.
Even a 20x multiple of such a number is still a relatively tiny number.

You can consider this the cost of the Second Amendment today. The difference is that when new technology comes along that will let you incapacitate someone without killing them, we will always already have the Second Amendment in place, and Germany will not suddenly give this weapon-right back to the people just because technology has progressed to the point that it is safer. A right that is given away to the state is 10 times harder to reclaim (and usually costs bloodshed).

So, be smug for now about the temporary illusion of safety you have created. Enjoy the fact that your “Bulle” are mostly unarmed. I’m sure the terrorists you’re letting into your country every day who will happily use knives and bombs (and, ahem, runaway vehicles) instead of guns will “pay off” one day, because all of those people can at least hypothetically be stopped by a single armed citizen. (And this does happen, by the way.)
I’ve had classes where I didn’t want to learn shit but I learned anyway because of videos like this. Like the explanation is so clear that as long as you don’t fall asleep you absorb it.

Hard to call 655 an accident. The missiles were deliberately fired at that aircraft.

It was either murder or manslaughter by negligence.

The same is true for this incident.
Enterprise started to get good once they realized what people wanted in a prequel series was to see elements of original Trek, humans struggling to get their footing in the galaxy, and how the Federation came to be. Unfortunately they wasted time on the Xindi arc/Temporal Cold War nonsense, and the ending was just an insult.

But I think that, like Voyager, it's gotten a retroactive boost in popularity. Apparently the same thing has happened for Star Wars? Lots of fans of the prequels and new trilogy, when original fans despised them.
Why is it restricted to Safari on iOS? I’m using Orion, which is Webkit-based too.

You completely missed my point. Money itself, of course, doesn't matter. It's just a unit of account we use to quantify the value of economic resources we have. It is the economic resources themselves that matter, and when we find ways to run businesses more profitably or provide products at a lower cost, that results in the long run in more economic resources being generated. That's how it works in a market economy, and a market economy is orders of magnitude more effective at the process of developing capital and raising our productivity than any other way of organizing society.
I built a tool to animate boring screenshots and screen recordings
Hi HN,

I'm excited to share Animator Studio — a tool that transforms your boring screenshots and screen recordings into beautiful animations in seconds.

What can you create?

High-impact mockup ads
Scroll-stopping social media posts
Product videos
Animated website demos
... and more!
Why use it?

Engage your audience: Eye-catching animations can make your content stand out.
No design skills required: The tool is beginner-friendly, so you can focus on your ideas instead of worrying about the design.
I built this because I often struggled to present my work in a way that felt polished and engaging. Most tools were either too complex or didn't give the results I wanted. Animator Studio bridges that gap, making it super easy to create stunning visuals quickly.

Would love your feedback! Let me know what you think or if there's something you'd like to see added.
Progressive is more precise than that. There are specific policies you can examine from the Progressive Era.

Ultimately it was the 'oligarchs' who argued in favor of the progressive agenda. Wall Street created the 3rd central bank, the US Federal Reserve. The AMA closed all of the mutual aid societies and their hospitals. Railroad barons lobbied for subsidies and price controls to eliminate their competitors. Woodrow Wilson declared war on Germany, "The world must be made safe for democracy"

Of course no would be authoritarian claims more power without claiming that they are doing it for the greater good or to attack the rich classes. The Progressive Era was smorgasbord of special interest handouts and grants to cartels. All of this was lobbied for by oligarchs.

Try framing it in terms of what you Need from people. Avoiding using "should" so much. It will help you become conscious of what your needs are. Confusing your needs with others needs is also a trap.

We can only talk in terms of our Needs and why those needs are important to us. Anything else sounds like passing judgement and the reaction will be negative.

You missed the point: "When you turn on your PC and notice that there’s a huge Christmas banner on your desktop, do not panic – your device is not compromised.

The Christmas banner can also pop up when you’re playing games. In some cases, the banner crashes apps."

This thingy lunches randomly when you use your PC, and can crash your app. This would be fine if they added it as extra entry in programs menu but this thingy lunches itself when it "thinks" it is good idea. This works like clasical crypto malware. I am not supprised people are terified seen this happen.

The layers of extreme complexity in this situation are astounding.

The app has some text internally, it renders it by rasterizing fonts to a bitmap, the OS takes the bitmap and composites it within the wider UI. Google Assistant grabs a screenshot of the fully composited, post-processed OS UI, sends it over the internet to a server, which uses an OCR model to read all the text, and a different model to work out which is the relevant text, which is then sent back over the internet and displayed on the device.

All so the user can copy some text.
Clickbait title. It’s about “speedcubing”, i.e. competitions to solve Rubik’s Cubes fast.

The conclusions sound like pop science. It’s ridiculous to think speedcubing is “unique” (article’s words) in offering a “combination of cognitive challenge, [alongside] social connection, and personal achievement that contributes to happiness”. It’s also laughable to mention the state of “flow” in this context, since it lasts for literally less than ten seconds.
